before i found the patterns from calman inside the duo, ive used the underscan feature in the duo on the AVS disc patterns. the results were very similar. i dont think i got it down to 10%, but pretty close if my math was correct

You've basically answered your own question. The Duo doesn't accept let alone pass or decode broadcast formats like QAM, ATSC etc. You need to either decode that stuff upstream with an outboard tuner or set top box, or bypass the Duo for these sources and continue letting the TV's tuner do it. No way around this.

My setup is as follows:
Iscan Duo accepting all inputs from various HDMI sources including Apple TV. HDMI Out from the Iscan DUO is connected to my Denon 4806CI to LG 1080P plasma TV.
Problem: I continously have HDCP errors when playing movies via Netflix on Apple TV. Message asks me to check the HDMI cable, I changed it to higher quality HDMI cables, to no avail. I thought maybe its the Apple TV.. so I bought the most recent 1080P Apple TV and connected and started getting the same error.

How can I get Netflix to work.. piping video from Apple TV to iscan Duo to the receiver to the TV

Have you try first remove the DUO and connect AppleTV direct to Denon and see if that still have issues? If no issues, then it is likely the DUO. If there is still issues, then it is NOT (and you likely would want to connect APPLE TV directly to plasma) and see if Denon is the issue.

I resolved this issue.
There is a setting onthe Duo to turn on HDCP.. it was turned off and when I turned it on, the issue got resolved. Thanks for your replies.

I watch ExpressVU through the iScan Duo. The wife likes to watch Dishnet with a Dual Tuner Receiver. #1 is on my side, #2 tuner on hers. If my tuner is not selected because I'm watching ExpressVU, she gets the HDCP error and can't watch movie channels on her tuner. Any fix for that? (Besides me watching DishNet?)

I use one with a 4x1 splitter on the output of my duo and never have an issue.

The Dishnet Input is not seeing the TV when the Duo is switched to ExpressVU, and therefore will not HDCP authenticate the Dishnet channels to be shown. Your Gizmo, I don't think, will help this situation.

The reason for this problem? DishNet Tuner #2 is not HD output. Composite RCA only.

If you're using LCD or LCD/LED, the recommended pattern size is Full Screen Patterns. To get these, under Calman's Options on the Right, remove the check marks beside Gray Scale Window Field, and Gamut Window Field.

I tried this and it works just as expected. Yay, full screen patterns now.

My short list is pretty short and at the top is the oppo bdp95eu and the denon 4010 , and the Cambridge audio 751bd. Let me know if there is anything else I should consider. I like the denon as it has denon link for removing the jitter between player and processor, however it seems like an old design compared to the newer oppo and cambridge. I like the xlr connectors on the oppo as they will connect nicely to my processor. And the Cambridge seems to be nice value however lacks the balanced xlr.

All of these players have newer video chipsets than the one inside the iscan Duo, however should I still connect them through the duo or bypass it altogether? If I bypass it I will have to manually set the CMS using Calman and my pioneer display but this is entirely possible for me to do. What would give the best overall picture quality?
